I agree about the door and I don't know why the ride seems a bit high to me...

106k on a 2 year old car, doubt it was recorded correctly.
Car does look high but that may be the wheels and low profile tyres.
P/O looks like they cared but red calipers?
And I'd change that Hot Air Intake for one with a cold feed.

[QUOTE=petet16;206022]I've just run the reg through a site I use for any cars that take my interest www.autocheck.co.uk there seems to be a mileage discrepancy, it was showing 106,000 in 2006 it could be an error, but worth making sure before any money changes hands[/QUO
just ran it through autocheck and indeed it states mileage @ 09/06/2006 is 102,000
seems a bit high 102,000 in only 3 years of motoring , 34,000 per year !!!

See what the service book shows, should be able to gauge if the site has a misprint.

Looking at the engine bay, and interior pics I would say the high mileage is a Red Herring, the seat bolster looks unworn, certainly not 106,000 miles worn

Quick update..................................
The high mileage on the autocheck is wrong, the service confirms this.
Looking at the previous receipts this car has been well looked after by the previous owner including ?341 for the exhaust !!
The interior is really outstanding !!
As for the "different" looking paint colour on the door, it must be the light cos in the flesh it looks great !
The wheels , in the original ad i wasn't too sure, but in the flesh they look great !!
Yes, i paid a deposit , and i pick it up Sat 7th May
